Ex-Sabres enforcer Ray sues NHLPA

‘Former Buffalo Sabres enforcer Rob Ray is suing the NHLPA in New York Supreme Court over the payout of millions of dollars from the union’s so-called war chest after the lockout was resolved. Ray originally sued the NHLPA after the union excluded him from receiving monthly payments during the ’04-’05 lockout. After he settled that lawsuit, the union made lump-sum payouts to both current and former players. Now, Ray is suing for some of that money and seeking $1 million in punitive damages as well.’
